Noodler's Ink: Lexington Gray

November 28, 2009

Thanks for the great review. I recently bought a bottle of Lex Grey as I love the colour and was looking for something with a little more flow than my Manjiro Nakahama. The fact that it is waterproof is a big plus.

Very well done review. Thanks.

I use Lex Gray exclusively in my early 1990s Cross Century Classic EF. They work fantastic together. I journal with the pair almost daily in either the Staples Eco-Friendly or Mead (Brazilian) composition notebooks.

This is my favorite color of ink. Sadly, I almost never use it since it exhibits bleedthrough on all the paper I use. It's not the worst bleedthrough of all time, but it's bothersome if you use both sides of the paper.

Does anyone know how it behaves if it is diluted to get a lighter grey.

I understand. So, I use it to address envelopes. It also works very well with Staples Eco-Friendly (bagasse, sugar cane) composition notebooks which I use for one of my journals. The Made in Brazil Norcom composition notebooks handles the ink well also. Last night I also tried it on Hammermill Ultra Premium Laser 24 lb. paper and experienced no bleed-through. I plan to use this paper with a line template for letters.

Nice writing Signum Italic hands are hot lol

I like the color, whether one considers it a "grey" or a "shading black"...

I haven't tried a grey in my pens as yet . . . maybe I'll have to give it a whirl soon.

Thanks for the review!

Pictrix,

Did you state that Italian lovers are hot? Sorry my imagination got the best of me here. lol.
